Summary: This document is nearly ready for publication as a Proposed
Standard RFC. I believe there is one major issue that is easily addressed.
Major issues:
I may have simply missed this reviewing the document, but as far as
I can tell there is no specification of the relationship between the
MT-IDs in this document and the MT-IDs used elsewhere. Yes, I can take
a guess at the intent. But is it stated somewhere that these are the
same IDs negotiated in the relevant IGP? Or is there some other intent?
Minor issues:
Nits/editorial comments:
I find it odd that the MT-ID follows the IP prefix in the various
formats. Yes, the computer can parse both. But since we tend to think
in Network byte order, I expect more significant information (MT-ID) to
occur before less significant information (IP prefix within topology.)
